About Jimmy...
Jimmy Takter got his start in the
harness racing business through his father Bo W. Takter, who is one
of the most successful trainers in Sweden. When Jimmy was 5 years
old he started helping his father around the barn. He began working
for his father when he was 16 years old. His first driving victory
came at age 18 at Jagersro in Malmo, Sweden. The horse was Air
Money, and he paid $88.00 to win. Takter’s first U.S. win came in
1983 at The Meadowlands with Baltic Speed in a New Jersey Sires
Stake. Takter credits his father for his success in the business. He
says, “I admire my father because he has taught me so much about
this business. I also admire Soren Nordin as I worked for him for
two years in the United States...he is such a great horseman.” Read
